1 Step Therapy The ClearScript Step Therapy program promotes the cost-effective use of clinically appropriate medications when more than one drug is available to treat a medical condition. What is Step Therapy? If you are taking a medication in the Step Therapy program, you are required to try one or more first step drugs before a second step drug is considered for coverage. Talk with your physician about which first step medication might be a good choice for you. A clinical review may be required before a second step drug is covered. If you have questions about the Step Therapy Program, contact ClearScript Member Services at the number on the back of your ID Card. Important Note: The drugs included on this list may not be covered by all benefit plans. Your benefit plan determines coverage for all medications. Additional coverage restrictions may apply for the medications included on this list. This list is subject to change throughout the year.
